BTC Important Update After US Jobs Report!

The US economy added 254,000 jobs in September 2024 , substantially surpassing Wall Street’s expectation of 147,000.

The unemployment rate also dropped to 4.1%, while the annual pace of wage growth increased to 4.0% from 3.8% in August.

This stronger-than-expected jobs report prompted macro traders to largely eliminate bets on another 50bps rate cut from the Federal Reserve in November.

Geopolitical tensions continue to play a significant role in shaping the Bitcoin market and broader financial markets.

Israel is anticipated to retaliate against Iran after a missile attack earlier this week , raising fears of a broader conflict.

Such an escalation could severely disrupt oil flows from the Middle East, posing a major risk to the global economy and keeping risk appetite in check across markets, particularly in crypto.

Without the recent geopolitical tensions, this week’s US economic data could have fueled a strong Bitcoin rally, potentially pushing the price as high as $70,000.

However, due to the worsening geopolitical landscape, October may not see the typical “Uptober” surge that some market participants expected.

Polymarket users currently assign a 25% chance that Bitcoin reaches $70,000 this month , compared to a 42% chance it falls to $55,000.

In contrast, Standard Chartered issued a note earlier this week warning that a short-term dip below $60,000 is likely, but encouraged investors to buy the dip.
